In this spirit my favorite festival of the year is Thanksgiving, and there is none more pleasurable than getting lost in that most Hobbit of J.R.R. Tolkien novels. It feels good to listen to Bilbo Baggins tell us about his wanderings all over Middle Earth-even the simple things like delicious food or awakening from a good night sleep.
The celebration of home and family that the Lord of the Rings so successfully foreshadow is more evident in Thanksgiving.Follow the above with Studio Ghibli's 'My Neighbor Totoro': a delightful hand-painted cartoon film that is all about warmth and wonder.
Lastly, 'Animal Crossing' will provide all the enjoyment and honoring social courtesies needed. It's a picturesque, story-orientated game where players can build and manage their own island, its positive atmosphere suitable for the holiday season.
Oftentimes, on Thanksgiving I find myself lost in 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. The complex narratives and political intrigue consume me for hours on end. It's such a stark departure from the serene holiday atmosphere, which, in a bizarre way, makes it more appealing.
Following this, I switch it up with the quirky humour and crazy action sequences of the 'One Punch Man' anime. Its subversive take on superhero tropes, coupled with a compelling narrative arc, keeps me glued to the screen. For an interactive experience, I jump into 'Skyrim', immersing myself in its vast, highly detailed world packed with epic quests and challenging foes.
For a light, Thanksgiving read, nothing beats 'Matilda' by Roald Dahl. Coupled with hot chocolate, it's reminiscent of childhood and simpler times. In the realm of anime, 'K-On!' is an adorable slice-of-life comedy about a high school music club, just the right watch for a relaxed holiday.
Another interesting holiday tradition of mine is playing 'Mario Kart' with my nephews. Despite the rage-inducing blue shell, the laughter and fun shared in those gaming sessions make them unforgettable.
Called my binging season 'Thanksgiving Time'. I take it as time to sink into a great book like George Orwell s “1984", which has never failed me yet. A love-letter show of laughs for all geeks.
The Big Bang Theory is one that you'll enjoy just fine as background music while dining. Its humor is witty, a veritable tapestry interwoven with references, allusions and cross-references from every field of popular culture, from the marketplace to academia – making this to another big plus.
For games, 'The Witcher 3', full of fantasy, intrigue and morally ambivalent dilemmas–well why not consider trying it out as an after-dinner game this Thanksgiving (and it can be a very lengthy) venture.?
